12 ANSWER SHEET WS-9 WEATHER PATTERNS The hottest places on Earth are around the Equator. Here the sun is almost directly overhead. The rays fall straight on to the surface and heat it up. Away from the Equator, the sun is lower in the sky. The rays are weaker so the air does not get so warm. The coldest places are around the North and South Poles. Climate is the pattern of weather for a place. Some places have hot climates, some have cold climates and some have temperate climates. The climate of a place depends mainly on its distance from the Equator. It is hottest at the Equator and becomes colder towards the Poles. Three of the principal climates in the world are Tropical, Temperate and Polar. Each climate has its own flora and fauna.

56 Answers WS-27 Global warming may make the sea level become higher. Warmer weather makes glaciers melt. Scientists think the sea has risen partly because of melting glaciers and sea ice. When some glaciers melt, they release water into the sea and make it higher than it was before. Stientists also think that warmer temperature in the sea makes it rise even more. This will affect both natural systems and manmade structures along coastlines. Coastal flooding could cause saltwater to flow into areas where salt is harmful, threatening plants and animals in those areas. Global warming may make the sea level become higher.
